J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit

A modest animated adaptation of Tolkien's classic adventure tale, balancing whimsy and peril across a hero's journey through a fantastical world.

This short film is the first film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 novel, The Hobbit. The film is a considered an "ashcan copy" as it was made quickly and cheaply by the producer to keep the rights to to the material.
